.113, .114, or .115 will be fine for an IP.
Subnet and Gateway remain the same. You can enter a DNS if you like, but it's unnecessary.

You're getting there. I made (and continue to make) all the same mistakes, so don't feel too bad. You're still trying things, which is important. And you have a sense of humor about it all. It's unhelpful to beat yourself up over things you don't know.

Personally I feel that the my greatest asset as a diagnostitian is blockheaded stubbornness. Unwillingness to give up. =^..^=

Thanks dude really appreciate it. Was really ready to give up; I'll give this a shot later today and get back to you. Thanks man a lot of peeps would of had enough of my idiocy, you the man/woman/cat! (Delete as appropriate).

Wired connection> connected> ping results fine. Packets received and sent fine. Excellent ping results konica minolta 215.jpg

Turn of wifi adapter; install driver ic-209? PCL6 the only driver that doesn't return syntax errors! Great installed (shows as connected printer properties etc brilliant. Print test page please: No!

Delete printer/uninstall. Go to printers>add printer>finds and attempts to install printer(auto)> driver error..

Printers>add printer>finds printer (manually)>try to install drivers (manually).. driver error..



It's not a hardware issue; is it because I'm in Oman (Gulf/Middle.East)?! I don't why that would make any difference though!

What now folks? Kick it and walk away?

Yep tried the GDI driver and PCL. All drivers I've tried give syntax or OS errors expect the controller IC-209 which installs and shows as working but without functionality.

Should I try the older drivers? I've only been trying the newer/latest releases as my assumption is these are most up to date and likely to work?!
